To the treasurer and barons of the exchequer. Order to supersede the demand made on the taxers and collectors of the triennial tenth and fifteenth in the said county (sic) for their account touching the manor of Bustlesham, and the men and tenants there, until the Purification next, so that the king may cause the manor to be assessed and taxed at the tenth and fifteenth, provided that the collectors shall answer for the portion of the other men of that county, as on 22 April, in the 11th year of the reign, the king granted the prior and canons of Bustlesham that they should be quit of all aids, contributions and tallages, and afterwards the king ordered the said collectors to levy the tenth and fifteenth of the prior and convent as well as of others who had such letters of acquittance, and although subsequently, because of certain reasons shown before the king and his council, the king ordered the collectors to supersede the levying of the tenth and fifteenth touching the prior of Bustlesham for his temporalities until the said feast of the Purification, and ordered the treasurer and barons not to charge them for their account with the said temporalities until that feast, yet because the said manor is newly granted to the prior, and it is not ascertained how much of the tenth and fifteenth touches the manor by itself and how much touches the men and tenants of the manor, nothing has been done thereupon, as the king has learned from the prior, who has besought the king to provide a remedy. 641 I1. Part III.
